I notice that there is a 'D' Helicopter event at this year's NARAM.  Can
anyone point me to past rockets, plans, etc., for helicopter rockets
above a 'C'?  Just curious.

Yes, seriously.

I clicked on the link, see a 'Helioroc', click on that, and it tells me
the link is not active.  Any more info?

Gee, I suppose it would help if there was a photo or something, instead
of just a price.

Only if you are a lookieloo and not an actual buyer.

Hey, where's your website? Then I can criticize you for all the stuff
you have not perfected yet.

The above statement implies that you, in fact, do not actually have a
real helicopter rocket, just a retail price for one.

Hmmm, sounds like another one of his alleged scams.. Any one ever seen
one of the alleged US/JI, etc., helicopter rockets?

Though you asked for plans for a D helicopter, Ken Brown's QCR offers a
kit for a competition D copter:

http://cybertravelog.com/qcr/helos.html           His instructions
aren't the most detailed, but his kits are reknowned competition
flyers.
I've seen guys in competition slightly modify the Estes Skywinder to
accept 24mm D engines. You're less likely to win, but you could get
flight points, unless your competition is also having a hard time
finding a D copter; in that case, you could place.  --  Richard "pardon
the rhyming homage to the late, shameless Johnny Cocharan" Hickok

And if it hasn't been mentioned already, you could experiment
beforehand with flying 18mm Aerotech D reloads in a C helicopter.

I've got plans for a D powered (BT-50 based) Rotaroc.
They are paper, not scanned or e-mailable.
I would consider the model to be a Skill Level 4.

George Gassaway's Rotarock design scales up and down pretty well, at least
for D12 (and perhaps E9). I've flown D12 versions of my Rotacrock adaption
of George's design.
